A few tips for getting (or re-getting) into Commodore 64

Caution: bleeding edge equipment here

If you used to own a commodore 64 back in the day, or you’re a new-school hipster enthusiast into retro computing… you’re going to need some help getting started. First thing you’re going to need to do is get a decent working unit. Here’s some tips on what to look for. According to the article, the item you want to look at is the power supply. And while disk drive’s are cool to look at, let’s get real and replace it with a SD card adapter.

In part two of the getting started guide, we’re trying to go quasi-modern with our commie right? So let’s get a fast load cartridge. There’s also some commands to get you going. I wish the guide had a little more to the series, but don’t fret you can always revert back to the original user’s guide or just pull up a command cheat sheet. Either way you’ll be playing maniac mansion in no time and re-living those old memories I’m sure!
